User's notes
Photos from 2022 showing fungus gnats visiting flowers and carrying pollinia. The gnats were identified as Exechia pullicauda by Wendy Lee. They were never observed actually entering or leaving flowers with pollinia on board, but were easily recognised when flying around the colony by the prominent yellow band on their abdomens.
